Long, conservative, called attention in
commons this afternoon to breach of
lobby by DIR. Kearns Deane Tanner,
Parnellite, in calling him Uong) n
"damncd snob." Continuing, Long
said he had, by letter, warned DR.. Tan
ner of his determination to bring the
matter before the house. Notwith-
standing this Tanner is now absent, al
though full knowledge Of his presence
is required to defend himself. The
facts Of the case were as follows: Long.
having heard that Tanner had COM
planned that his vote had not been re-
corded in a certain division, and meet
ing him in the lobby asked him what
was the matter and II there was any
thing wrong in the record OF
division. Tanner replied "You are n
tory, arn't you? wish TO God
then, you wouldn't speak to me. i
have told you damned tories never to

daughter by Parnellites.) AS Long
was hurrying away Tanner called out:
"There goes damned snob." Long,
after giving this history of the Incl
dent, said he would rather have passed
over the affair with contempt but as
it occurred within the precincts of the
house and i'm the presence of every
member, he felt it his duty to bring
the whole matter before the house.
w. Fl. Smith, government leader,
moved that Tanner be suspended for
u month. Sexton said he considered
such proceeding scarcely less dis.
graceful than the language complained
Of. Tanner had frequently requested
conservative members not to address
him. Long would have acted wisely

Parnell submitted that it was in pre-
cedent for suspending a member for
month without giving him n chance

decided whether he would go to st.

King Milan, of Servia, in an interview
